ADVICE: The ASPM L0s low power Link state is optimized for short entry and exitlatencies, while providing substantial power savings. Disabling L0s of a PCIedevice may increases power consumption, and will impact the battery life of amobile system.

ADVICE: The ASPM L1 low power Link state is optimized for maximum power savingswith longer entry and exit latencies. Disabling L1 of a PCIe device mayincreases power consumption, and will impact the battery life of a mobile systemsignificantly.

I had the same problem on an old laptop, that being poor performance and linux using some module where the ethernet chipset name bore no resemblance to the kernel module name. Like an RTL8139 using an 8139too.ko module. Pretty good idea what to use in that situation. I spent a lot of time figuring out what was the correct driver module. I think using the wrong module might be the source of the problem. You have the RTL8112L chipset on your board (either version). It seems there are a lot of views on what is the correct driver is but the 8169 driver isn't mentioned a lot. What I finally did for my laptop was download the source from Realtek and compiled my own driver and used whatever Realtek thought was best. It worked better than any other solution. The good news is that the google can take you right to the source for the 8112L. The bad news is that it only supports up to kernel 3.X. But it wouldn't cost you anything but a little bit of time to try it. It might compile. It could happen. Or maybe small adjustments could be made in the source to fix compile errors. I have had problems compiling 3.X source on a 4.X system because of changes in the kernel source tree but it wouldn't hurt to try.

Also, in my case, firmware was part of the tar ball so I would expect so in your case. You also might have to fiddle around with files in /etc/modules.d.
